FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need previous tattooing experience?
No. Tattoo Fundamentals is designed for beginners who want to learn tattoo fundamentals step by step.
Is the course entirely online?
Yes. The course is available online and you can learn at your own pace.
How long is the course?
Tattoo Fundamentals includes over 75 lessons and approximately 10 hours of content.
What is the difference between the two options?
The content is identical, but the access schedule differs. With the €59 monthly subscription, you start with the first module and a new module unlocks each week. With €299 lifetime access, the whole of Tattoo Fundamentals is available immediately.
How does the welcome offer work?
New students receive 15% off lifetime access to Tattoo Fundamentals with WELCOME15, bringing the total from €299 to €254.15. Pay in full or in 2 instalments; amounts and payment dates are displayed at checkout. The offer can be used once, only when lifetime access is your first purchase on Draw Campus. It does not apply to monthly subscriptions and cannot be combined with another offer. If your first purchase is a monthly subscription, you cannot use this discount later to upgrade to lifetime access.
Can I cancel my monthly subscription?
Yes. The monthly subscription has no minimum commitment and can be cancelled at any time.
Does lifetime access include future Draw Campus courses?
Lifetime access includes Tattoo Fundamentals and its future updates. Other courses offered separately on Draw Campus are not included.
What language is the course in?
Tattoo Fundamentals is currently available in French. Draw Campus will gradually welcome new instructors, courses and languages.
Will I receive a certificate at the end of the course?
Yes. A personalised certificate of completion is generated automatically once you finish the entire course. It confirms course completion but is not a state-recognised diploma, a professional qualification or the statutory French Hygiène et Salubrité certificate.
Does Tattoo Fundamentals replace mandatory hygiene training?
No. Tattoo Fundamentals covers tattoo hygiene principles, but the statutory Hygiène et Salubrité training is a separate, mandatory requirement before practising professionally in France. Requirements may vary depending on where you intend to practise.
Does enrolment automatically include a Draw Booking listing?
No. When your practice, regulatory compliance and skill level allow you to receive clients, you can submit your profile to Draw Booking. A listing is not included in Tattoo Fundamentals and is subject to the platform’s approval criteria.
Can I ask questions and read other students’ questions?
Yes. Every module includes a shared learning space where you can ask questions beneath the lessons, explore other students’ questions and read the instructor’s answers and explanations. This helps you explore concepts, work through difficulties and learn from other students’ experiences. Monthly subscribers can access this space while their subscription is active. Lifetime access includes unlimited access to it.
Is individual coaching included?
Tattoo Fundamentals can be completed independently. Lifetime access also includes one hour of individual coaching with Thierry Perron. More extensive personalised coaching programmes are available by application for students who want to go further.
Can I submit my own course?
If you are a tattoo artist with a course or expertise you would like to share, you can apply to Draw Campus. Each proposal is reviewed individually to maintain the quality and consistency of the catalogue.
